Lol you have fun teasing us with pictures don't chu, but take your time and get it right Epic CM 7 squad. I do have a question doe...does CM get updates after initial releases or does the porting just have its limitations?

I ask this question (not to be a tight ass just out of curiosity because it seems that in some of the ports and the problems and features that aren't working...people are just showing off "nightly" builds and some people don't have a version stable enough for daily use...I've seen this a few times on Youtube just looking at CM 7 on different phones...any 2 cents will help?

Hey Nullghost,

Thanks for the changes pushed to git. One small thing I noticed in the kernel_build.sh is the script header #!/bin/sh... but the create zip section requires pushd and popd.

On my ubuntu 10.10 server pushd and popd are only built-ins for bash so instead of it making the zip archive from ~/samsung-kernel-epic/update, it is making it from ~/samsung-kernel-epic

After I made the change (and installed p7zip) everything is moving along nicely.

Any chance the header could get changed to #!/bin/bash rather than #!/bin/sh?

Keep up the good work. I am loving the changes.

Now that I have my Epic back, I can't wait to test it.

Stupid question time:

Since CM7 doesn't run ay Sprint apps, what would we need to do to get a visual voicemail program up and running? I don't use Google Voice, and have heard other 3rd party voicemail programs can be buggy or introduce voicemail routing problems.
[Epic 4G General] WyldOne91:
What I would personally do is download root uninstaller from the market and backup the voicemail .apk to your sdcard and then whenever we get cyanogenmod, you can attempt installing the sprint voicemail app and see if u can still use it, which I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.
[Epic 4G General] krazyflipj:
On the Evo, we would have to backup app (personally prefer Titanium) on a stock like rom (any Sense rom for us) flash/restore cm rom and restore app and data via titanium. Personally I use Google voice but the method I described worked for alot of ppl

[Epic 4G General] nullghost:
Hey nice catch, that didn't occur to me when I switched to pushd and popd.

Will commit the change right now.

Updated initramfs is on github. Screen-off reboot issue is resolved, OOM parameters have been adjusted, and the init.rc is cleaned up massively.

It might just be a placebo effect, but my UI feels snappier and I'm getting higher linpacks / quads.

At this point in time, the kernel and initramfs WILL boot and work fully on Eb13. Enjoy :)

[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
I'm pretty sure the framework cap is on the kernel level, so until we get an AOSP overclock kernel it would still be there

Once video playback is running right, will flash work better with bluetooth then on eb13? I know flash is a resource hog, but a guy can hope...

[Epic 4G General] terinfire:
Do we have to have any specific radio installed for the alpha, etc? Still on DK28 and CWM3 with a EXT4 ROM... Trying to figure out the correct/best upgrade path -- would've asked in the developer thread, but I need more posts. D'oh!
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Definitely recommend updating to EB13 Modem.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
The EB13 Extended is your best bet. You will ODIN It with the pit in the pit slot and the .tar in the PDA slot with reset not clicked and GO. After that flash CM7 after doing the 3 finger salute to convert to EXT4 and you are on you way to navigating to wherever you have CM7.zip located.
[Epic 4G General] gdbassett:
Rather than flashing EB13, I might recommend a slightly different approach. Install bonsai (following the instructions to ODIN the modem). This should help preserve 'data'. Follow that with a Titanium Backup and another Clockwork 3 backup, (and then copy the TI and CW backups back to your computer just in case). Then you should be ready to follow the Cyanogen install instructions. The TI and CW backups should allow you to restore data after the install or roll back to an EB13 ROM (bonsai) as required.
[Epic 4G General] jasonsf:
Hope this hasn't been covered yet. Sorry if it has. I'm running a custom EB13 ROM (Supernova.) I'm not on EXT4 and I'm on the older ClockworkMod. Do I need to upgrade my CWM to the one that automatically formats EXT4? I guess I'm asking if I need to be on EXT4 to flash this alpha.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
The best thing about the/any screen-off animation will be seeing it on a display that can show true black. The official one (I'm saying this because I'm sure more will pop up), for example, should look really nice because it will not dim from gray-blue to black at the very end. If someone ever does make one, I think a simple 'wipe' could be very nice looking because of this effect.
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
You can be on either RFS or EXT4, it was stated in the thread in Android Development I believe. Among the first to third page. Just be sure to do a back up before anything else if you realize the alpha isnt for you.

Big question for the dev's that I noticed in another thread:

Since some of us have flashed to Cricket and have to manually input proxies, etc, via the old dialer code ##DATA#, is there a way to do this in CM7?

[Epic 4G General] DevinXtreme:
This is something I don't have any experience in.

However, I have noticed in other forums, multiple versions of CyanogenMod appear wit the appropriate settings changed in the ROM itself. So, basically, a developer who has flashed their phone over to Cricket (or whatever) will need to step forward and modify the project on their own.
[Epic 4G General] terinfire:
Thanks for the response, Devin. I'm a developer, so I may consider doing that, if there's not an easier way around it.

I'm just trying to understand the way that CM7 handles data proxies that are manually input, especially if it's built from AOSP. Is there a specific way that AOSP loads proxies for RIL data? i.e. when you have a phone on Sprint, do you have to manually input a MMSC Url in the codebase as a constant? Or the RTSP Proxy Address, HTTPPD Proxy Address? I'm not sure what all of these do, since I'm new to flashing, but I have a developer background. Seems that Sprint uses them for managing how MMS' downloads data and how multimedia sources (like YouTube) grab data... A little shocked that it passes this stuff through a proxy and doesn't just use standard data (i.e. when flashing/adjusting setting, I can access web content fine via web browser, but when trying to access YouTube, it uses another pathway that requires a proxy for some reason and will not work until the proxy is cleared). I'm thinking I may have to grep the code and see if I can find this stuff being manually set. Or, on the plus side, maybe CM7 just feeds it all through data and no proxies are necessary, which would *truly* be a win for us.

[Epic 4G General] bullitnutz:
Yeah, looks real, but there's reports of borkage going on. I won't be flashing it due to the possibility of boot loops when wifi is enabled. The size seems to be what it is due to it being flashed over alpha 1. So, typical alpha caveats there. Always backup.

Poor Epic gets no love. What was it again that Samsung did that makes it so hard to make ROMs for their Galaxy S line? Is it the RFS system?
[Epic 4G General] bullitnutz:
There's a lot of things. I would guess first would be the goofy RFS system, but then you have the drivers, the slowness from Samsung on releasing source code, the variety of devices (making reverse engineering from the earlier-updating SGS phones overseas hard if not impossible), etc. It also doesn't help when there's likely a QA problem with the GPS causing developers to scratch their heads thinking it's a bug in their code.

I don't care if the next Samsung phone cooks me porterhouse steaks and gives me a beej on the couch while I'm watching football - I'm not buying it.

[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
That is the first time I've heard that but if it's true...
[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
For the most part yes. CM is much more flexible in what it can do. Its also much smaller overall, and faster. With usually better battery life thanks to 0 proprietary stuff in. Any version I've ever used has been far more stable than anything cooked up from the stock ROM. Being better though is an opinion. I like it a lot personally, but also love builds from other developers.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
I understand that it's a matter of opinion as to which is "better". IMHO, faster + better battery life = better. I haven't tried a CM build, but I'm becoming more and more intrigued the more I read.

Good luck you guys! I'll give it a shot once it has phone, sms and 3g.
[Epic 4G General] AmericanJedi001:
I think I agree with rygran87, but I'll add "... + stable..." I haven't tried any CM builds either, but I've been keeping up with the goings on and I'm very excited about CM(7!) being the current project of a couple of our star devs.

Thanks guys, I can't wait for CM7 on the Epic!
